    Default Toolex 14inch bandsaw woes

    Hi all,

    I was tuning up my Toolex 14inch bandsaw today following some tips from the wood whisperer.
    I was having issues with the tyre on the top wheel, it's tho original rubber tyre and no matter where I ran the blade, it would try to run the tyre off the wheel. If the blade was towards the back (so the teeth run in the centre) the tyre would want to run off the front, and vice versa. I have glued the tyre on for now but might be time to replace both tyres with new ones. I can remove the top tyre with finger pressure.

    Anyway I was getting over this issue so thought I would adjust the guides. Bottom guides first and all was okay, then started the top guides and the rubbish castings started snapping on me. So now I have no way of mounting the guides and the replacement parts from Toolex look worse than the original parts.

    Is there any replacement/upgrade parts that would fit the Toolex bandsaw? It doesn't have the round guide post, it had a piece of extruded aluminium.

    Cheers

    Carter have some nice looking guides:
    Band Saw Guides - Guidall & Micro-Precision Band Saw Guide | Carter Products
    I have not used them myself (cost more than my bandsaw is worth).
    Also there are a few people on utube that have make bandsaws. Look to see how they made their guides.
